Your Current Charity Choices:

Charity of the Month - December: Parkinson's New Zealand

Founded in 1983, Parkinson's New Zealand provides support, education and information for the 13,000 New Zealanders living with Parkinson's, their families, carers and health professionals.

Parkinson’s New Zealand is a community based, non-profit organisation, registered with the Charities Commission and reliant on funding from grants, bequests and donations. They currently have twenty divisions and branches across New Zealand who provide a Community Educator Service and run support groups and exercise classes. Community Educators are health professionals who visit people in their own homes to offer advice and support to people living with this progressive neurological condition. Their expertise on the condition and the continuity of care they provide helps people with Parkinson’s manage their condition and remain independent for longer.

Parkinson’s New Zealand is recognized by the Parkinson’s community and by medical experts to be the primary source of information and support for people living with Parkinson’s. Please join us in supporting Parkinson’s New Zealand.

Oxfam NZ

HealthPost has committed $40,000 to kick-start Oxfam’s campaign to reach over 1million people by the end of 2017. With your help, Oxfam will work with local partners to provide much needed water, sanitation, hygiene, food and livelihood support. They will provide specialist support to women and other vulnerable groups to address their specific needs.

West Africa’s Unseen Crisis:

A desperate and largely unknown humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the Lake Chad Basin, which includes Chad, Niger and Nigeria. It is compounded as a result of the ongoing conflict with Boko Haram and the military operations to counter them. It is Africa’s fastest growing displacement crisis – over 2.6 million people have been forced to flee their homes. Over a million children are feared to be trapped in areas under the control of Boko Haram. 3.8 million people are facing severe food insecurity and going hungry and in North East Nigeria, with over 1 million people are one step away from famine conditions.

$40,000 can provide 800 hygiene kits for families of eight, including laundry and bath soap, menstrual items and jerry cans. Please join us in supporting Oxfam today.You can read more about Oxfam NZ at www.oxfam.org.nz

WWF China

China’s environmental policies affect the world. A good example is the bird that undertakes the world’s longest migration, the godwit. WWF China works to protect wetlands that are a vital 'refuelling' stopover for godwits on their epic flight from New Zealand and Australia to Alaska, as well as other conservation priorities such as the giant panda.

WWF’s iconic logo is testament to their work establishing giant panda reserves. Currently WWF China is vigorously engaging with communities, businesses and government to reduce China’s carbon emissions. Beyond the immediate benefit to people’s health, curbing these emissions is critical to avoiding catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate change.

HUHA - Helping You Help Animals

Red Cross work in Vanuatu

With Cyclone Pam causing catastrophic devastation in Vanuatu, we've asked that our latest donation to Red Cross NZ be used exclusively to help provide relief for the people of this island nation. The type of work Red Cross is doing in Vanuatu includes the distribution of essential household items, tarpaulins, shelter toolkits, safe drinking water and health and first aid programs. They will also be rolling out longer term recovery projects to support the stronger and safer rebuilding of damaged homes and of course the restoration and strengthening of livelihoods will also be crucial due to the significant damage to crops, livestock and fisheries.

Our Ten Wellness Principles: 6. Better World: we understand that the wellbeing of HealthPost is connected to the health of the wider community. We give back via substantial, ongoing donations to vital charities.
